An Obvious Plant thread

[Officer Big Mac]

Almost as good as Robert Cop. I've never heard of Obvious Plant but I think I am a fan.

For years, he's been littering supermarket and drugstore shelves with his action figures and small games that cleverly comment on capitalism and the harsh realities we all experience, from a birthday for one—it "includes one party blower because that is all you will need"—to a "childless couple" riding matching jet skis. Sometimes parodying pop culture, the elaborate designs are paired with witty copy and a slew of intentional spelling errors, including warnings that "everybody dies, even bird."

I've always wondered if they've ever gotten caught taking the product in and out of the store. Maybe they know the manager/owner or something. I think it's a few different stores, though

 

[Epitome]

Benny no!

 

[Tater]

Holy shit, I lost it at Nyquill Jornan.

 

[Fleck0]

whoa! Kinda makes me sad I can't have some of these.

edit: I see that I CAN buy some of them but they are literally all sold out, and pricey.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

This tries so hard I can only be mildly amused by it.

They do go for sale from time to time but they aren't cheap since they're quite limited.

They occasionally sell some of the items, but they are obviously manufactured in pretty low numbers and the prices are all over the place - https://obvious-plant.myshopify.com/

What's funny is I didn't notice at first and was so focused on being disappointed that Elmo was just obviously Elmo and not a clever knock off creation, that I thought to myself fuck at least put those letters on unalphabetical order... then I looked again and got super excited lol.

We tested it on one child and they didn't die so, probably safe, probably!

I've always loved these, I never thought about the person behind them. It's good to be able to give him credit.
